It's Been A While

I haven't posted in a while but things have been happening just the same. Anthony fought this past week at a show in Hammond. He fought a good fight and roughed the other guy up pretty well but was penalized for a low blow and hitting behind the head. Typically you receive a warning before having points taken away but not this time. Anthony is a clean fighter, so we'll just chalk this one up as a learning experience.

We've got an in-house show coming up this Friday the 12th. We've got quite a few new people in the gym lately and for several of them, this will be their boxing debut. The shows are always fun and the proceeds will go to defray the expenses of taking our fighters to the upcoming Silver Gloves in Terre Haute. Doors open at six, boxing starts at seven. Tickets are $8.00 and are available from the fighters or at the door.

Coach Jimmy won't be going to Brazil after all. Apparently, his opponent's people thought better of it. Too bad. Jimmy was training hard and it would have been a big step if he could have beat this guy. He will be fighting in December at the Hammond Civic Center, however. Come out and support Jimmy and the rest of the fighters on the 17th.
